Liu Rengui led a squadron of three sail battleships, one second-level, two third-level, four-level, and five-level, and two supply ships to Dengzhou to assist the Dengzhou Navy. As soon as he entered the waters of Dengzhou, he discovered a large number of pirate warships of the Japanese nu Kingdom. These warships were escorting the pirates to Qingshui Town.

There are about sixty or seventy pirate warships, but they are all small boats such as seashore ships (28 people). The largest seahawk warships (70 people) are just a few two-masted ships, and more are sampan rowboats (10 people).

When Liu Rengui saw the pirate ship, he became excited. He immediately ordered to set off the geese formation and rush towards the pirate ship fleet.

The specific arrangement is that Liu Rengui led the commander's second-level sail battleship "Yangzhou" to the center, and four third-level and fourth-level sail battleships were arranged in sequence on both wings. The remaining fourth-level and fifth-level sail battleships were arranged behind the third-level and fourth-level, and were ready to encircle from both wings at any time.

Two supply ships followed behind the "Yangzhou", and a third-class sail battleship followed closely behind to guard.

At this time, on a pirate Seahawk battleship with a skeleton flag, an old pirate with a 50-year-old beard, wearing armor and not wearing a helmet, took a telescope seized from the Dengzhou Navy and observed the Tang army for a while, then handed the telescope to a young man beside him and said, "Young master, look at what kind of warship Tang army is, it is so tall. The ship in front has nine masts."

The young man wore a rolled-eaves helmet, about twenty-three or four years old, looks strong, looks pretty, and has a bit of heroic spirit between his eyebrows. He took the telescope, observed for a while and said, "I heard that the Tang Dynasty has built a new overseas fleet, and it should be them."

The old pirate asked, "Young Master, how do you see how to face the enemy?"

The young man said: "Although the enemy ships are tall, they are only about ten. We should use the method of dealing with the enemy Dengzhou Navy, and take advantage of the small and flexible advantages of our ships, and approach the enemy and close to them in close combat. General Tiger Head, you should command this battle."

General Hutou said, "Yes, young master." As he said that, he began to issue orders to his subordinates.

The young man said to another tall young general beside him: "Kakasaki, please order the troops on the shore to withdraw."

Kawasaki went down to pass the order.

The young man held a telescope and continued to observe the movements of the Tang army fleet.

Liu Rengui led the fleet to approach the pirates' fleet. He saw the pirates' ships lined up in four columns and drove up towards him.

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "These guys who don't know how to live or die still seem to have some tactical skills. But I like it." What he was most worried about was that the pirates would escape in dispersion, so that the pirates could at least run away.

The two fleets of war continued to get closer.

The pirates were very confident that the ships of the Dengzhou Navy were also tall, but they relied on flexible tactics to defeat the Dengzhou Navy. At this moment, they approached the Tang army's ships, avoided the front of the Tang army, and wanted to penetrate through the gaps of the Tang army's ships and siege the Tang army's ships and defeat them.

When they arrived in front of the sail battleship, they realized that the shape of the sail battleship's keel bones was different from the Dengzhou Navy warship's keel bones, which were thinner and longer, and their steering was flexible and faster. Now, the pirates' advantage of small and fast ships was gone.

The Tang army's warships rushed towards the four pirate fleets. The pirates saw the Tang army's tall ships rushing towards them and hurriedly avoided them. However, their ship speed was not as fast as the sail battleships, and many pirate ships were directly overturned and then sank to the bottom of the sea.

However, the pirates were well-trained. After a panic, they dispersed according to their predetermined goals to circumvent the Tang army's ships.

On the side of a third-class sailing battleship, several sailors operated huge crossbows, hung a pot full of tinder oil on it, lit the cloth strips on it, aimed at a pirate's seashore ship and shot it. They shot directly on the pirate's ship's ship's ship's ship, and a ball of fire immediately burned.

The pirates caught fire and jumped into the sea one after another. The wooden seashore boats were soon burned out.

The sailors operating the stone thrower also kept firing 0-pound stone bombs. Facing the pirate ships getting closer and closer, their hit rate was also very high. The huge kinetic energy of the stone bombs hit the pirate ships and directly fell into a big hole. They could destroy it immediately.

The pirates were extremely brave. They approached the Tang army's sail battleship despite the heavy losses. However, when they got closer, they were stunned - the sail battleship's side was higher than the deck of the pirate ship, which was more than ten feet high, and the edge was still round and bulging, making it extremely difficult to climb.

At this time, a large number of archers flashed out on the deck of the third floor of the sail battleship, shooting at most of the pirates without armor from a high place. Not to mention that the pirates wanted to jump and attack, it was impossible for them to show their heads on the deck.

Then, the pottery jar filled with hot tinder was thrown from above, and finally approached the Tang army's pirate ship, and was quickly burned.

Around Liu Rengui's "Yangzhou", several pirate ships approached, and the pirates also launched rockets at the "Yangzhou", but their rockets only had a small piece of oil cloth wrapped around the arrows, which was made of fish oil. The firepower was very weak, and it did not work when it hit the thick ship. When it hit the ship's tower, the Tang soldiers could easily extinguish the flames.

The pirates were at a loss and had no choice but to do anything about these behemoths.

A pirate's Seahawk warship also approached the "Yangzhou". They wanted to approach the "Yangzhou" from the side. Just when the Seahawk warship was approaching the "Yangzhou", they found that the "Yangzhou" suddenly turned around and headed towards the Seahawk warship. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Seahawk warship hurriedly turned the bow and tried to avoid the "Yangzhou". However, they did not expect that the "Yangzhou" was very fast. Before the Seahawk warship could turn around, it suddenly hit its bow.

The Seahawk Battleship stands out among the pirate ships and is considered a giant, but in front of the huge sail battleship, it was like a paper toy, and it was knocked over in an instant.

Seven or eight pirate ships passed through the gaps of the Tang army warships and came to the vicinity of the supply ship. The pirates were very glad that they finally found a soft persimmon and hurriedly went up to pick up the bargain.

When they arrived at the supply ship, the pirates did not notice the Tang army guards on the ship. They couldn't help but be overjoyed. Looking at the tall supply ship, the pirates threw their claws to hang the side of the supply ship and began to climb upwards.
